Mealplak: a new way of thinking about buffets and pastries

RGmania has decided to introduce among its brands a brand that has madeexclusivity its mission: Mealplak.

Indeed, the watchword that has allowed Mealplak to become known worldwide is DIVERSITY.

The material from which the products in its assortment are made is Nacryl®, a registered and exclusive brand that is completely new. It is NOT melamine, it is NOT simple plastic, it is Nacryl©.

Mealplak's product is designed for buffets and catering, for finger food and sweets & pastry. Whatever your buffet idea is, the proposed range of 10 colors will allow food to stand out at its best, thanks to contrasts and color play. The colors are ice white-the perfect color for a product like this-, mud taupe, cherry red, concrete gray, tangerine orange, lagoon blue, lemon yellow, khaki green, and candy pink.

Hotels were the first to believe in such an innovative product, and the reason is very simple. Accommodations need to be extremely versatile so they need a totally customizable product with which they can play with shapes and colors, creating an incredible mix & match.

Breakfast, brunch, light lunch, coffee break, tea time, aperitif are just some of the moments when hotels have to reinvent themselves, offering different proposals, changing dress but maintaining consistency. If you add to this the care of room service, you can see how a new, fresh and modern product can best express itself in a hotel.

Not only that, even pastry shops need Mealplak because its light shapes and bright colors bring out the best in even the smallest sweets, the most sophisticated bon bons, and the most innovative petite patisserie.

Similarly, restaurants also seek similar products because of the possibility of offering differentiation between the courses of those with special intolerances or specific requests such as variations to dishes or the need for gluten-free products, thanks to the depth of range of colors.

How was Mealplak born? From the superimposition of two cast resins of Nacryl©, the colored part of which is to be kept upside down on the supporting surface at all times during service.

The product is therefore industrial but finished by hand. This special treatment gives each piece a unique silkiness.

Another outstanding quality of Nacryl© is its translucence, that is, the ability to see through it, an almost magical effect. The color is given by the resin at the base, which conveys depth, complemented by a satin-finished but still smooth patina.

It is extremely interesting to observe how the shadow of the food is reflected in the resin and conveys the idea that it is 'floating'.

To the touch the material feels smooth and non-porous, to the eye patinated but also shiny.

Totally food safe, shockproof, dishwasher safe, and guaranteed a full 10 years against yellowing, it enjoys another valuable feature: thermal retention.

When placed in the freezer, the product stays cold for at least half an hour. This also makes it perfect for room service in the best hotels, when, for example, ice cream needs to be served without melting it or raw fish that will stay at the ideal temperature.

Finally, when wet or frozen, it provides a characteristic ice block effect: when the water melts, it does not leave the table wet but simply evaporates.

RG has always chosen products that allow you to amaze, leave you speechless, capture the eyes and hearts of customers, and Mealplak certainly offers such table solutions.

Today more than ever, one must talk about food as a complete sensory experience that many believe involves only what one eats, but this is not the case. To the eyes the privilege of first enjoying the creation, its different forms, of appreciating its mise-en-place. One should not forget, however, that the plate is what enhances the food.

A colorful, silky, shiny surface that takes the form of an altar for food allows for an informal but expectant approach at the same time, and Mealplak knows this well.
